Clé Tile’s Origins Collection

These ceramic tiles bring historical designs into a contemporary context

Petaluma, Calif.-based designer Forrest Lesch-Middleton used myriad firing, forming, and silk-screening techniques to create the intricate designs on the surface of Clé Tile’s Origins Collection. Inspired by the geometric and arabesque designs prevalent in the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe, the hand-made tiles boast a sepia-tone look and a historical patina. The tiles are designed for interior and exterior floor and wall applications. They come in seven designs which each are available in 3-inch-by-3-inch, 4-inch-by-4-inch, and 6-inch-by-6-inch sizes.
